#rockbox log for 2011-02-07

Is it possible to do a per playlist resume? Are bookmarks the only solution? I mean... if I have audiobooks, music, and let's say language courses, and I'd like to resume where I stopped in each playlist independently.

Use case: I listen to language course. I get tired. I listen to music. Then may be some audiobook. Then language again. I don't want to partly skip some tracks as with FS #11748 as for language learning it is better to listen again even if I skipped something in the past

Saint: I was wondering whether Rockbox should offer premade podcast and audiobook submenus. People tend to keep them separate from their music, but that requires putting directory names in the tagnavi files...

I think it would be similar to T9 sms...once you get used to it it'd be quite nice, but getting used to it might be a little weird while its "learning".

IMHO, my card switches to HighSpeed timings slowly and during this process incorrectly processes another commands (so we need dumb delay or polling of card state). Delay is simple and "it just works" solution.

I don't discuss about being able or about the necessity to give it a width and a height - just that I thought that if I give it a *width* of 320 and a *height* of 240 it would do the rotation automatically

afaics the orientation is only governed by the AndroidManifest file...but I don't know if I chose landscape instad of portrait if it will be left-landscape, right-landscape, or smart enough to use the accellerometer to decide.

S_a_i_n_t: unboosted test_codec gave wrong results on my builds as well. divide your 13MHz by 4 and you'll get ~3.2MHz. the factor of 4 is the ration from boosted to unboosted clock. so, test_codec uses the unboosted clock to calculate the effective clock, but is still boosted.

you can very easily spot if it is broken -> memorize the speed with which a file is processed boosted and check this when using unboosted test_codec. speed = order of magnitude when test_codec advances through the file (e.g. steps of ~1200)

hmmm, with the new code I added the recording does seem to stop, I get the usb screen, the stop icon shows at the top. But no drive. If I stop the recording manually and insert usb, drive appears (default behaviour)

pamaury: I've verified that currently playing song and font always remain open. I also know from my debug output that there's sometimes a third file, but I don't yet know which one. (The call to open had already been flushed from the log when I dumped it, and I haven't yet implemented any better instrumentation.)

Ok, I'm thinking about how to solve the real issue. Perhaps we could introduce a message like SYS_FS_UNMOUNT which would ask thread to release all open files belonging to a volume. This would alos be useful on sd unmount, instead of a full FS_CHANGED

hi, this is a rather broad question, I just returned from a large multimedia retailer store and I was unable to find any device supported by RockBox. Personally I have been using a Sansa Fuze v2 and I am very happy with it. But I am about to buy a device for my son and it has to be in that shop as we have a voucher. So are there any /recent/ devices, which can still be found on shelves and...

...for which Rockbox development is well underway so that they can be expected to be supported in the not too distant future? The Buyers Guide page at the Wiki says for all but one player that they are no longer being produced, the only exception being the sansa fuze v2, however, this device is also out of sale...

saratoga: you are of course right and I have been looking at the wiki, however I felt I was not really getting anywhere, because it seemed like most devices are either unsupported or out of sale, therefore I hoped there would be some recommendations from personal experience

when I hit Install the bootloader it will try to download but then say Can't get version information Network Error: HTTP Request failed
